A Hornet F7C-R Tracker for my Star Citizen account (and Org BitSec!).

 

Just bought this from a friend for £100, he paid £205 for it about 6 months ago and has hardly used it, the 20x optical zoom lens is quite impressive and it's one of the few small compact cameras that can capture in RAW format, should be able to take some better shots for my modding worklogs at last and it even has GPS geotagging and photo navigation to identify landmarks, a lot of tech in a small camera

 

Bought an Xplio XP19WD for only an tenner.. what a deal!.. the picture looks decent enough.. widescreen! My old monitor was pretty much screwed.. the LCD got discolored and such.. some bleeding crystals (if that term is correct)

 

A set of these shiny new babies to replace my aged, battered HD 485s, also bidding on a little Tube Headphone Amp to power them with, since I don't think my Xonar DX will have enough grunt.

 

My 485s have served me extremely well too. I've actually been through a couple of pairs because at one point a few years ago, they were the most economic way to get hold of the Sennheiser headphone holder and I needed a second one for my uni house as well as the headphones themselves. I blew a driver in my first pair a couple of years ago, but the others are still going strong. I only use them in the workshop now, but for well used 6 year old headphones they've exceeded all expectations of £50 cans.

 

* 0-74mm gear puller

Because trying to pull gears off a collection of stepper motors without the proper tool proved to be an excercise in frustrating futility!

* Heated print bed for RepRap

 

Timberland Goretex boots, can't say no at £47.

 

And a pair of Calvin Kleins.

Forgot to bring a change to work having cycled in.... Whoops there goes £40.

 

It's new tool time so....

Makita DLX2005M 18V Cordless Li-Ion Cordless Kit with 2 x 4Ah Batteries.

Makita DBO180Z 18V 125mm Body Only.

 

Very nice tools how much did they set you back? And do you use them for work or just household diy?

 

They cost a shade over £400. They're used for 'Heavy DIY' if there is such a thing as they get more use than the average DIY'er. I probably could have spent slightly less and got the less 'professional' models, but it would have only been a few £££ less at the most tbh.

 

Welcome to the 4Ah Lithium club I have almost exactly the same spec from DeWalt, the DCK290M2 twin pack.

 

'cos you know you've got to play Mario Kart


Only £10 from my local charity shop, also managed to pick up two 6 button pads for a tenner too.


Needed a new read and this will tide me over till console wars is released.

 

Yup, I went out and bought one of them too!

 

Nice. Friend of mine has not long picked up exactly the same tools - Brilliant pieces of kit, you'll love 'em.

 

Dragons Fury!
Best soundtrack for a pinball game ever

 

* Another 74mm gear puller (triple armed this time) because the first one couldn't get the job done!
* Lunch (salad with spanish sausages)

 

My first mech keyboard Cooler Master TK Stealth Reminds me so much of typing on my old XT PC from the 1980's

 

Just pledged for this Titanium micro ratchet, should be a useful addition to the backpack.

 

It's Titanium, it's a tool and it actually looks very well thought out and compact. I'm powerless to resist!
